IEEE 802.11 is part of the IEEE 802 set of local area network (LAN) technical standards, and specifies the set of medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) protocols for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication. The standard and amendments provide the basis for wireless network products using the Wi-Fi ...
A wireless network interface controller ( WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or LTE (4G) or 5G rather than a wired network, such as an Ethernet network. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses an antenna to communicate via radio waves.
IEEE 802.11ac-2013. *Wi‑Fi 0, 1, 2, and 3 are named by retroactive inference. IEEE 802.11ac-2013 or 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard in the IEEE 802.11 set of protocols (which is part of the Wi-Fi networking family), providing high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the 5 GHz band.
In IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networking standards (including Wi‑Fi), a service set is a group of wireless network devices which share a service set identifier (SSID)—typically the natural language label that users see as a network name. (For example, all of the devices that together form and use a Wi‑Fi network called "Foo" are a ...
Comparison of open-source wireless drivers. Wireless network cards for computers require control software to make them function ( firmware, device drivers ). This is a list of the status of some open-source drivers for 802.11 wireless network cards. Location of the network device drivers in a simplified structure of the Linux kernel.
IEEE 802.11p is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to add wireless access in vehicular environments ( WAVE ), a vehicular communication system. It defines enhancements to 802.11 (the basis of products marketed as Wi-Fi) required to support intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications. This includes data exchange between ...
Ralink RT63365E on a Wi-Fi router and access point from Huawei. Ralink Technology, Corp. is a Wi-Fi chipset manufacturer mainly known for their IEEE 802.11 ( Wireless LAN) chipsets. Ralink was founded in 2001 in Cupertino, California, then moved its headquarters to Hsinchu, Taiwan. On 5 May 2011, Ralink was acquired by MediaTek .
IEEE 802.11bb is a line-of-sight light-based wireless networking standard that is part of the 802.11 suite of standards, which defines an interoperable communications protocol for Li-Fi devices. [1] Its proponents state that it will allow for very high speed communication that is faster than Wi-Fi .
